When faced with stress or danger, the body’s natural response is often to enter a state of fight, flight, or freeze. While much attention has been given to strategies for moving out of the fight or flight response, less focus has been placed on the freeze response.

The freeze response occurs when the body perceives the threat as overwhelming and decides to immobilize as a form of protection. However, being stuck in a functional freeze state can have detrimental effects on both physical and mental well-being.

Fortunately, there are several strategies such as CBT approaches can employ to move themselves out of a freeze state and promote a sense of safety and relaxation. Continue reading...

Dear parents, please remember that everything you experience in this wild parenting spectrum is NORMAL. You’ll feel the most joy and love imaginable matched with the undertow of overwhelm and helplessness. Sometimes all in the same hour.

You are not failing as a parent for feeling all these things. These feelings come with good parenting. Learning how to be with all of it isn’t innately taught to us. Self soothing and regulating isn’t taught to us. Navigating life on zero sleep isn’t taught to us. Healing our wounds and bodies while being available to tiny humans is NOT TAUGHT to us.

You’re expanding and learning each day you choose the parent experience. And that’s absolutely enough. Through away the perfect parent companion. Perfect parenting is not full spectrum parenting. So when you’re overwhelmed and want to scream cry (like I do sometimes) remember: “I am doing my best and that’s enough”. 🥰❤️🥰
